Photo Hunt #24 at Sacred Ruminations
This is my 28thMisty Dawn started the meme and explains the rules here:
I've not had time to take many photos of my own lately
so I share this Dolphin Rescue Video today
from You Tube ... lest we forget.

This is my 22nd

I'm smiling today because ...

1. In case you missed yesterday's Haiku Friday here ... I announce again that Hootin' Anni gave me a 'kewl' Halloween award and shared nifty T-13 Headers with all. She's soooo creative and loves Halloween ... click the links to see what else she's been up to!

2. Even though I was awake for several hours last night (due to noisy next-door 'partying' outside from 11pm through 3:30am or so), my head is clear enough for a Saturday and I plan to call the gal who owns the 'vacation rental' next door today. She's pretty assertive about dealing with such occurrences. My polite requests at 1:15am (and again at 2:15am) didn't make a whole lot of difference in the noise levels ... sigh! I turned on the TV upstairs to 'cover' their noise and did manage to get a little sleep because television ALWAYS puts me to sleep.

3. It's a BEAUTIFUL sunny Saturday morning (even though it's been foggy the last few days and rain's predicted). Actually I'm HOPING weather predictions are correct because we NEED rain here in So Cal and 'showers' might keep the noisy young people renting the house next door INSIDE tonight so I can sleep.

4. I've completed my 3rd Photoshop Elements class and have continued to USE the the skills and information I've acquired thus far. The next class focuses on the Organizer and I'm hoping to get a handle on the mess of photographs I've accumulated over the years. After that (in the November-December session) I've signed up for a Holiday Projects class with PSE6.

5. As usual ... I encountered some posts that made me laugh this week and I share a few links here in case YOU need a laugh this weekend yourself.

• Gattina's T-13 at Writers Cramps with 'Telephone Answering Messages'
  
• Frivolous Friday at Sassy Mama Bear's Cafe at the End of the Universe
• Angela's Witty Wednesday featured foolish things folks actually said in court ... reminding me of an 'illustrated' post I shared here at Small Reflections a while back entitled Disorder in the Court.
• How Times Have Changed shared by Jo at Teacher Says
• Time for a Giggle or Two at Sylvia's View From Over the Hill
  
• In case you've missed these (by way of review here) ... my Monday Morning Musings contains an 'A-Z meme' & an animated award for friends ... Heads or Tails has 'lots of shaking going on' ... in Whimsical Wednesday I shared a Quiz ... and my T-13 listed Quotes about Writing.

If you've not yet checked it out and/or passed it along, the Five Friends Video (shared at the top of all 3 of my blogs) IS definitely worth watching ... and sharing because time is growing short for those who aren't yet REGISTERED to vote in the next election.
